February 6, 2322 – Mobile Infantry launch an invasion of Klendathu, and it fails partially because the majority of the Mobile Infantry units deployed are not up to power suit level of tech but mostly because the Mobile Infantry have never dealt with what would later be called a level five bug colony.

This Rebellion led by General Sprange a veteran of Klendathu was different as his entire army went rogue with the planets. The reasons for the rebellion were many from political ideology, religion to taxes but it was believed that it was Spranger himself who caused the rebellion by not addressing the concerns of the people with the federation council. The 6th fleet moved to put down the rebellion and a bloody war that last three months broke out.

Their math skewed slightly by their home world being turned into a mining world, says that humans would not last as a galactic power, but in their time they would cause the extinction of the Forth if they do not do something to stem there power. SICON names this race the Forth, the Forth take the name and call themselves the Forth the True Democracy since every Forth has access to almost all information gathered. The Forth launches a campaign of terror on the eastern colonies to stop their advance into their living space, now called the Forth Expanse.
July 24, 2330 – after their less than great success against the Forth, the 7th fleet becomes the dumping grounds for all the other Fleets, the place where they send less than perfect soldiers and officers that have been known to causes trouble or go against the order of the higher ups.

May 30, 2334 – an unknown race is seen using planets in the galactic north to attack the Arachnid Empire. After research into where they seem to be coming from Federation Sky Marshal Keats, has the 6th fleet investigate it. They find a battleship on the surface of the planet, Venos VII. In curiosity he takes a sizable force down to the planet to meet the aliens. The aliens mistake this for an invasion and fight the troopers deployed to the planet. In the action that fallowed The Sky Marshal and his guard the elite Pathfinders, Sacroix's Spears is killed in the attack as well as most of the troopers. The fleet takes the survivors on board and begins to fire on the planet but the ship vanishes like it was never there. When the Military intelligence go over the reports they find 3 things of interest, one: the unknown aliens looked like human with black hair and blue skin, two: they had incredible psychic powers and were even able to stop bullets in midair, three: they were all women or looked like women. This leads to the name the Coven when referring to them.
June 15, 2334 – a Coven force attacks and takes 9 federation colonies, with minimal loss of life on both sides. It was unknown why the Coven did not murder the human population at first, leading to one scientist former theorizing that the Coven had a male deficit and were coming to enslave the men of the Human race. Which promptly got him laughed out of the academic world, but a sliver of "could he de right" remained until a member of the military Intelligence notices all seven worlds that were part of the Sprange rebellion and several the other two were contested world during that time were taken by the coven. Using the idea that both could be related as his working theory he checked over the reports and found several solders and ship that were involved in the fighting reported seeing humans fighting alongside coven forces. This led to the theory that ether the aliens had somehow been involved in the rebellion (an idea that was loved by Fed Net) or that the alien had allied themselves with the remnants of the rebellion.
January 3, 2335 – Peace with Coven is achieved when an implanted Coven agent reveals herself to military intelligence and informs them they do not want to fight the Terran's and they are only here to open up a second front on the Arachnid Empire. She informs Military intelligence that that they came from the other side of the Arachnid Empire and that they were sent to rally the races of the Milky Way against the bugs. When asked about the events in the north she confirms that they are working with human they found in the territory between the CEF (Coven Expeditionary Forces) borders and the Terran Federations and that they will give back several of the planet they have taken if they can keep at least two for their allies. The federation agrees grudgingly leading to an alliance, but neither side really trusts the other very much yet.
November 19, 2336 – a large patrol of the 7th fleet is hit by a Forth super weapon, over half the ships are lost. It is Unclear if the Forth will use the weapon again though, as the Forth ship responsible for the attack appears to have lost power and was destroyed by the surviving Dreadnought TF Asgard, it is hopped taking the secret of the weapon to its grave.
